Performance and processor
The system is powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7‑265, a 20‑core, 20‑thread Arrow Lake desktop CPU with 8 performance cores, 12 efficient cores, a 2.4 GHz base clock, and turbo speeds up to about 5.3 GHz, backed by 30 MB of L3 cache. This configuration is designed for smooth multitasking in real‑world use—running office apps, dozens of browser tabs, conferencing tools, and light content‑creation software simultaneously without feeling sluggish.
Memory, storage, and everyday responsiveness
This specific ECT1250 variant includes 16 GB of DDR5 RAM at 5600 MT/s, which is well‑suited to typical professional and home workloads such as productivity suites, web apps, light editing, and development tools. A 1 TB M.2 NVMe SSD provides fast storage for Windows and applications, giving quick boot times, snappy app launches, and ample space for documents, media, and work projects.
Graphics and connectivity
Graphics are handled by integrated Intel UHD Graphics on the Core Ultra platform, which is more than sufficient for multi‑monitor office setups, 4K video playback, streaming, and light creative work, though it is not aimed at high‑end 3D gaming. Dell’s tower platform supports multiple displays via HDMI and DisplayPort, along with numerous USB ports and a 3.0 SD card reader for quickly importing photos and files from cameras and other devices.
Design, expansion, and service
The tower uses a compact, business‑oriented chassis with a tool‑less side panel, making it easy to add more storage or memory later as needs grow. Internally, there are PCIe expansion slots and additional storage bays, so users can install discrete cards or extra drives, while externally Dell includes a wired keyboard and mouse for an out‑of‑the‑box working setup. Basic Onsite Service is included, providing on‑location support for hardware issues during the warranty period, which is valuable for minimizing downtime in business or remote‑work environments.
